Figured I'd share this thread I found regarding tires and traction. I guess I always just assumed wider tire = better traction. Making more power, get a wider tire on there to help plant the power. So if you're making 700hp and think slapping 275 wide tires on all 4 corners will help reduce wheel spin in a drag race, definitely read this as it will make you think again about that. Maybe I'm just the idiot and everyone else already knew this, but figured I'd share in case there's any other 'idiots' on here that thought the same as me
Cliff notes:
Wider tires = wider contact patch = better lateral traction
Taller tires = longer contact patch = better forward traction
